CONFIG_ASAN

Build with address sanitizer

Type: bool

Help

Builds Zephyr with Address Sanitizer enabled. This is currently
only supported by boards based on the posix architecture, and requires a
recent-ish compiler with the ``-fsanitize=address`` command line option,
and the libasan library.

Note that at exit leak detection is disabled for 64-bit boards when
GCC is used due to potential risk of a deadlock in libasan.
This behavior can be changes by adding leak_check_at_exit=1 to the
environment variable ASAN_OPTIONS.
